Most of the players on the Silverado football team aren’t old enough to recognize “The Ultimate Weapon” nickname. They don’t know how dominant “QB Eagles” was in Tecmo Bowl or who paved the way for players such as Michael Vick, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. But make no mistake: They’ve heard the stories and have seen all the plays on YouTube of their new head coach.
Defensive tackle Salanoa-Alo Wily was set to stay home and play football for Hawaii. But just because he had committed to the Rainbow Warriors didn’t mean he would sign with them. Young minds change often during the recruiting process.
When he died of natural causes at age 84 on Sunday, people started telling stories about The Giffer again. Actually, when you think about it, they never really stopped telling them. This is a tribute to Frank Gifford — that long after his playing career, it seemed he always was relevant.
The Outlaws barely lasted one season before being put out of their misery following their regular-season finale Saturday, a 51-34 loss to Spokane in front of just 4,114 at the Thomas & Mack Center, the vast majority who had gotten in for free.
The National Football League said it signed a multi-year partnership with microblogging site Twitter Inc to deliver video and other content to NFL fans on a daily basis.

The last time UNLV’s football team received as much offseason coverage as it has since December was, well, never. The Rebels were splashed across the pages of newspapers and magazines that in recent years hadn’t offered the slightest glance towards the program. All of it was terrific for the brand. And, as of Friday morning, none of it meant a thing.
If a team could use a little divine intervention right now, it’s the Las Vegas Outlaws. The Arena Football League expansion team has had more than its share of struggles in its inaugural season, yet here they are in the final week of the season with a chance to make the playoffs.
At this point last year, running back Altee Tenpenny was preparing to help Alabama try to win a national championship.
The easy story is the one that says family was the reason Jay’Onn Myles chose UNLV over Baylor. But it wouldn’t be correct. Myles saw an even deeper reason to go with the Rebels, a can’t-miss determination from first-year coach Tony Sanchez and his staff to change a battered and beleaguered football program.
If there’s anything Jim Harbaugh loves more than football and khaki pants, it’s got to be milk, which the Michigan coach credits for helping him grow to 6-foot-3-inches tall.
